For what its worth, Garmin etrex Vistas are $299 at Best Buy in the US. that is a lot less than the
UK! also Garmin have announced a PDA with an integrated GPS. should be just the toy for using
Memory Map, etc on the hill!

Does MemoryMap run on the Palm platform as well as Pocket PC? The Garmin iQue 3600 is a Palm device
and not overly rugged from what I have read. I don't think it is well suited to the damp of the
British upland environment.

US mapping Garmins come with the US rather than European basemap, and while you can buy and load
more detailed local maps, you can't change the basemap. Depends whether that matters to you.

I bought my Garmin basic Etrex in a hunting shop in New England last October, Paid $119 or roughly
£80. They were £149 in UK at the time. Well pleased !
